A half and hour has passed since the girls picked up the stranger on the road.
After 10 minutes of Isabelle's odd music, Robbie turned it off and Isabelle decided to entertain their guest by reading a chapter from Lord of The Rings. Robbie could tell he was very interested, getting lost in the story with hobbits, elves and the one ring.
Isabelle was up to the part where the fellowship leaves Rivendell when they saw the flashing lights of a police car. The girls looked back, shock etched on their faces.
"Oh shit, was I driving too fast? Oh shit!" Robbie cursed.
Isabelle put her book down and frantically looked on the back, taking out a small pillow.
"Here, put this under your shirt." she said, giving the pillow to Robbie.
"What, why?"
"So you could look like you're pregnant. The cop will go easy on us."
"No, Isabelle!" she said, slapping her hand away. Isabelle kept insisting, so Robbie had to stop the car and they just were slapping each other hands away, while their passenger just watched in amusement. Finally, the cop car stopped near them and a man came out. He knocked on the window, which Robbie pulled down as he looked at them with a flashlight.
"Howdy, ladies. I'm Sheriff Hoyt. What are you-" he stopped when he pointed his flashlight as the stranger.
"Tommy! What are you doing here? I told you I was gonna pick you up."
the stranger looked down as the girls stared ta the sheriff.
"You know him?" Isabelle asked with the sheriff nodded in response.
"This boy here is my nephew. You girls taking him home?" he asked, with the girls nodding.
"Fine, just follow me. I'll take you there." he said as he went back into his car and drove off, the girls following him. Isabelle smiled and looked at Thomas.
"So, you're Tommy, huh?"
Thomas nodded smiling at them. Robbie smiled back.
"Nice to meet ya, Thomas."
It took them about 15 minutes to get to Thomas place, both girls looked impressed by the large house.
"Wow, nice place." Isabelle said, Robbie nodding in agreement. Robbie stopped near the road, the trio realizing they were still pretty far away from the house.
"OK, lets do this." Isabelle suggested "We grab our stuff and then we run like hell to your house. OK?"
Thomas and Robbie both nodded as the girls grabbed their bags. Their hands were on the door handles as Isabelle counted.
"OK...1...2...3!"
They all ran out of the car, slamming the doors shut. They ran quickly to the porch, getting soaked in the process. When they got to the porch, they all looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing. When they finally got themselves under control, they smiled at each other and Isabelle spoke up.
"Well, you're gonna invite us in or not?"
Thomas nodded and opened the door for the girls, walking in with them. They saw an older woman with glasses waiting for them on the sofa.
"Hello." she greeted, "I'm Luda Mae, Thomas mama."
"Nice to meet you, Ma'am." the girls said at the same time, making Luda Mae smile.
"How about after you three fry up, we'll have dinner?"
They all nodded and Luda Mae instructed them to go to the bathroom. As they left, Luda Mae smiled to herself.
She saw how those girls were to Thomas, they were very friendly towards him; they were actually laughing together like they were old friends.
She hoped these girls would help her Thomas, help him come out of his shell.
AN: So, finally here's the second chapter, sorry it took so long, inspiration strikes at the oddest times. So, here we have the girls meeting Hoyt and Luda Mae and finding out Thomas name. As you can see, they are a bit quirky together. I got the pillow idea from a book I saw about criminals, it was kind of a funny so I had to use it here.
Anyway, comments are loved and enjoy! I don't own TCM, just Isabelle and Robbie!
